Aya Squawkermaru: First off, the Info and Sign-Up page just because. Anyway, as far as post expectations go: No super short posts in most cases. I'll be lenient with this at the beginning, but eventually, I'll want you all to have good, descriptive posts of at least two or three paragraphs. I'll also be lenient with this if you're having a very simple conversation with someone. And no, I don't expect anything the size of this first post. My post is only this long because I control Hina from the get-go. Also, note that there are fourteen players. FOURTEEN. That's a lot to keep track of. So, if I forget something at first, or my posts towards you guys seem a bit lackluster, I apologize. The same goes for if I portray your characters a bit differently than I should. It will be easier once I learn your characters, but for now, I'll have to rely on you guys to let their personalities shine through. Also, I realize that some of us RP faster than others, so at the beginning, I'll try to keep it balanced. Not that I'll only update once per day, but I won't have a long series of back-and-forth posts with one person or anything like that. Anyway, without further ado, here it is! ------ The full moon hung high in the sky of Gensokyo. The hakutaku worked well into the night, writing a new history. With the Hakurei maiden and the Border Youkai gone, the Border's fall was accelerating beyond her control. She knew that the fall of the border was inevitable. But she hoped that there was some way to stop it, some way to slow it down at least. Some way to get them back. --- Slowly, the kitsune opened her eyes. It was dark out, and she could see the full moon shining brightly in the sky. She looked around, and could only see trees as far as the eyes could see. She shivered as a cold breeze swept by, and looked down at herself. Instead of the furry body she was expecting, she was now taller, more lean, and just in a strange shape. Most of her fur had left her, which explained why she was so cold from the breeze. The kitsune stretched, trying to orient herself. After a bit of experimentation, she found that her new limbs were not as complex as she had originally believed. Though her movements were still clumsy, she found that she could move around with relative ease, although walking on two limbs seemed easier than four for some strange reason. She then became aware of the fact that she was hungry. Looking around, she could not see any nuts or berries, and decided to go scavenge for what she could. After a few minutes of foraging, she managed to find a small bush with a few berries on it. She struggled to get them off with her strange new paws, and decided instead to simply bite them off. It was in the middle of this act that she heard a rustling sound in the trees behind her. As the rustling became louder, she dived out of the way, expecting some sort of predator. Instead, she saw a girl with a body similar to hers, staring at her with a greedy look in her eye. The girl had green hair that came down past its chin and a red dress with a strange green pattern on it. She rubbed her paws together and licked her lips. ?My, you have a lot of misfortune. This will be quite the treat!? The kitsune tilted her head in confusion. She didn't know why she could understand what this girl, and the words that came out of her mouth came as just as much of a surprise. ?I have a lot of misfortune?? The girl nodded eagerly in response. ?Oh yes. It fills you to the brim. I'm not sure if I can even take it all at once!? The girl stepped closer, eliciting a small, startled sound from the kitsune. ?Yes... now that I get a closer look at you, I see you are completely naked. So, if you don't mind my asking, what happened? Girlfriend dump you out here? Attacked by bandits?? The kitsune shook her head. ?No, I was like this when I woke up...? She couldn't understand why this girl seemed to be so eager. ?Um... The thing is, I don't really know where I am right now. Could you please tell me where we are?? The girl looked taken aback a bit, but regained her composure. ?You mean you don't know? We're in the Great Youkai Forest on Youkai Mountain.? The kitsune thought about this for a moment, then shook her head again. ?I don't remember a place like that...? she slowly began backing away from this strange girl. But the girl drew closer, and gave the kitsune a good once-over. ?I see... Well, you obviously aren't a human. Maybe you're a newly born Youkai? You look like a kitsune to me...? The kitsune remained silent, and tried to back away again. However, the other girl was faster, and was soon spinning in circles around the kitsune. ?So, what's your name~? I always ask before taking somebody's misfortune. I'm Hina Kagiyama, the Curse Goddess.? The kitsune racked her brain, trying to think of her name. She didn't remember ever being given one, but she soon found what she was looking for. ?...Kanade. I'm Kanade.? Hina looked a bit disappointed, but soon perked back up. ?Just one name... Well, whatever. Thank you for the misfortune!? Hina began spinning in place, faster and faster. Kanade could feel something being drained out of her; it was not an unpleasant feeling, but a disorienting one. Hina spun faster and faster, and soon Kanade felt like she, too was spinning. Then, what had been drained suddenly snapped back into place, making Kanade fall over. Hina placed her hands on her hips, pouting. ?That's weird... I couldn't take it! Why didn't you let me take it?? ?I didn't do anything,? Kanade said, as she tried to stand up. Hina ran over and helped her up, before sighing. ?Well. If I can't take your misfortune directly, I guess the least I could do is help you out for a bit. Do you have anywhere to go?? Kanade shook her head. ?I see. Well, then...? Hina trailed off, as she grabbed Kanade's wrist, eliciting a small shriek from the kitsune, before dragging her off. ?Time to go home!?

GuardianTempest: In a plant-ridden basement of the ruins of a long-forgotten house, it's quite hilarious how a forgotten house didn't turn into a youkai yet, but that's not the main concern right now. In the darkness there lays a lifeless metal armor, sitting there like how a doll would when the owner's done playing with it. All of a sudden the fingers started moving, then the arms, then all of a sudden....CLANG! The armor trips on a vine, but it didn't stop it from standing up straight. Navigating along the pitch-black room it reaches the doorway, the light of the starts giving a faint light on the run-down staircase. Clumsily making its way up, it whispers to itself, "I am Heal de Garde, vassal of the human who once lived here, now I seek to serve, but who?" By the time she reaches the top she looks around to see nothing but old floors and forest. Looking up to the stars then back down she looks around. Afterwards she then begins walking in a random direction.

Aya Squawkermaru: GuardianTempest Heal de Garde made her way through the house, trying to find something, anything. A sign of her old master, or a new one. It didn't matter, so long as she had someone to serve. The house was overgrown with vegetation; vines grew on the walls, tree stuck through the windows, the corners where the floor or ceiling met the walls were overgrown with moss. The floor creaked as the girl walked, due in part to the wight of her armor, due in part to the age of the building. Eventually, she found herself out on a balcony, jutting out from the hallway. She looked out to see a dark night. Slowly, her eyes adjusted to the darkness, and she could see trees stretched out before her like a canvas. The sky was devoid of clouds, and was characterized by a bright full moon and a sea of stars. Heal's gazing was cut short as the floor beneath her gave way. The balcony collapsed, bringing the vassal with it. She hit the ground with a small thud, then stood back up to look around. She was now behind the house, with the remains of the balcony all around her. The vassal dusted herself off, then turned to simply walk in another direction. However, she was cut short by a few shouts of "hey", and turned to face the sound of the noise in time to see a grey-haired girl land on the ground a few meters away from her. The girl was of relatively short stature, with a brown dress and white sleeves. Two large, grey ears protruded from her hair. She did not look amused. "Oy. You okay over there?" The grey-haired girl began walking towards the vassal.

CrowCakes: The first thing that greeted the satori's senses was the cold surface of the floor. Looking around, she found herself in between two walls made of stone. She breathed in the smell of something cold, and she began to shiver. The blunt thuds from outside reached her ears. Huddling against the stone wall, she looked at the passers-by. Her senses were a bit disoriented, so she couldn't catch a clear view of them. She only caught glimpses of horns, clothes, and big people. The satori began crawling out, her knees buckling from the cold. She looked down and found cold, white stuff all over the floor. She touched her face. She acknowledged its existence before feeling for her arms. There was something weird on her wrists; upn closer inspection, they were red cords attached to her wrists from a red ball on her chest. She poked the ball, but there was no response. After she checked every other part of her body, she tried to look for anything to make her stop feeling cold. There wasn't anything in this alley. Well, maybe there was something at the back, but she wouldn't be able to see it in the dim lighting. The only thing she found was a greenish stone that had bits of red on it. Opening her hand felt weird, but she was able to grasp the rock tightly in her hand. Seeing as there was nothing else to find, she continued trying to get out. She stuggled to stand up. That was what the legs were for, right? For some reason, she was aware of the functions of her limbs. When her feet touched the ground, her shivering intensified. She shook slightly as she slowly stepped her way to the road. The satori's eyes widened in surprise. This place was huge! It was a bit empty right now, but that only made the place seem bigger. Rows of buildings lined the side, and the same white thing on the ground rested on top of those buildings. Bright hanging things gave off light that brightened up the place a little. The blue color from the buildings' top looked really nice, too. There were all kinds of people, too; mostly those with horns, but they all looked different. They wore different things with different colors. They laughed and talked loudly. "Wow..." Then she felt something rumble inside her. It hurt and felt empty. So now, not only did she need warmth, she needed to stop the pain. She began her unstable walk across the road, not mindful of the people who looked at her. Unknown to her, the red ball on her chest began to open up.

Narouge: The sounds of fights have ended a battle between two old enemies over yet again. Light flickers, the once raging flames, now all but gone, the small red fires burning the last bits of themselves out, the cinders glowing like small crawling bugs all around the field. A small field inside bamboo forest, made of ash, now rests after blaze of the battle over. The ash begins to stir, the ash moves a little, then pushes up, then slowly something begins to rise from the ash. The ash falls off the new fairy, as she rubs it out her eyes, taking her first few breaths, smelling the ash all around and over her. She looks around happily seeing the field of ash. She stands up happily brushing herself off. She knew something?s already, she had no idea why, but she knew them all. She begins to look around for things already flying around, some containers to hold stuff like the sweet smelling ash, stick or something to poke at stuff, flint maybe, somewhere nearby with some water to maybe wash her face. Most importantly she wanted to find out about this place, and why the fire was here, from someone.
